Funded Activity Summary

An Empirical Model of Aboriginal Mental Health. The poor health, academic, and mental health functioning of Aboriginal children is one of Australia's major public health problems. This project will identify the specific factors that lead to these problems and provide an evidence base to shape future empirically-informed interventions to reduce violence and mental health problems in Aboriginal communities. This project directly addresses the National Research Priority of Strengthening Australia's Social and Economic Fabric and a Healthy Start to Life by establishing the empirical platform to shape future policies for enhancing the mental health of Aboriginal youth.
